"eScams - Requesting Photo Approval

This is a scam that almost got me. I let it in past my first line of defense, MailWasher. Then I read it and believed it. But when I started to open the attachment, I saw that the attachment was an executeable file (with an exe ending). Red flags went up all through my brain. I stopped, deleted the email, and let out a sigh of relief. I had almost been duped by the W32/BrepiBot.R!tr virus.
The email's subject was "Requesting Photo Approval" and its message read as follows:

Hello,
Your photograph has reached editing stage as part of an article we are publishing for our February edition of Traders World Monthly. Can you check over the format and get back to us with your approval or any changes?
If the picture is not to your liking then please send a preferred one. We've attached the photo with the article here.
Kind regards,
Jamie Andrews
Editor
TradersWorld"

Since it was possible that someone would want to write an article about me and use my photo, this sounded legit.
Attached to this email was a file called Photo+Article.zip which had a file in it named Photo+Article.exe. If I had run that file, it would have put a file on my computer which Windows would have run everytime that it started. This file would have launched a flood of similar emails with attached viruses from my computer to as many emails as it could find.
I wanted to tell you about this scam because it shows how inventive the writers of virus emails can be. All virus emails do not look alike. They can come in all kinds of forms. You must always be on the lookout for them.
A good practice to get into is to NOT open attachments. You should only open attachments that come from someone you know, that person has told you about the attachment, and you are 100% sure what the attachment is. If you do not know what an attachment is, it will not hurt you to NOT open it or at least to ask the sender what the attachment is.
If you will be careful with emails, you can keep your computer virus-free."
